I thought of starting a thread on Guru Rhadha. She is a great exponent of the Vazhuvoor school of dance. She has choreographed many wonderful dance dramas. She has done some extensive research on the work of Lalgudi Jayaraman and has choreographed many dance numbers to his varnams and thillanas. I was wondering if someone can shed some more light on this great artiste.

Here is a profile:

I first saw her dance with her sisters, Kamala and Vasanti. She certainly was, to an extent, overshadowed by her older sister Kamala Lakshman (who wouldn't be?), but is coming into her own now. IIRC, she won the sangIt nATak academy award in 2007. DD has released a VCD on the bard's 'naukA caritam' choreographed by her, if I am not mistaken. She is a very firm upholder of the vazhuvUr tradition, with no adulteration.

Just out of curiosity and information, the title Guru being added to Smt Radha, is it some thing conferred on them by some one or is it being done out of respect ? If this is done for what they have achieved by imparting education ( music or dance ) to their disciples, then why all other deserving peopld ( including Kamala Lakshman, Ariyakudi, Semmangudi et all) not being addressed such ?
